If only you could know
The things I long to say
If only I could tell you
What I wish I could convey
It's in my ev'ry glance
My heart's an open book
You'd see it all at once
If only you would look
If only you could glimpse
The feeling that I feel
If only you would notice
What I'm dying to reveal
The dreams I can't declare
The needs I can't deny
You'd understand them all
If only you would try
All my secrets, you would learn them
All my longings, you'd return them
Then the silence would be broken
Not a word would need be spoken
What is it about her
That's so wonderfully, impossibly familiar?
Why do I feel dizzy
In a way I've only felt but once before?
How come when she looks at me
It seems like time stops moving
Almost like the way it did that day upon the shore?
But that voice!
If only it were true
If only for a while
Ah, that voice!
If only you would notice
How I ache behind my smile
Where's that voice?
I guess you never will
I guess it doesn't show
But if I never find a way to tell you so
Oh, what I would give
If only you could know
Bless ya, child
Tomorrow, the Prince will have his pick of any princess in the land!
How can a little mermaid compete with that?
If only I knew how
I'd make him see the light
If only it were up to me
This all would turn out right
And if I only could
I'll tell you what I'd do
I'd simply wave my claw
And make your dreams come true
And wouldn't that surprise you
If you only knew
How could she just suddenly
Completely disappear into thin water?
It's been two whole days
And I don't know where she has gone!
Ah, that voice!
If only you'd come home...
If only I could help...
Where's that voice?
If only there were time
I know we'd kiss at last
That voice!
If only you'd come back
I'll change my ways!
Just one more day for that kiss to come...
But time keeps racing forward
And our moment's almost passed!
I'll try to understand...
It has to happen now...
I'll keep my temper low...
I'd give my life up to make it happen...
I should have started listening to you all along...
How I wish that girl could have been this one!
There's only one more day until I have to go!
If only...
Oh, what I would give if only you could know...
And at the ball
What will occur?
Maybe I'll find that voice
But I'll lose her...
If only...
If only...
If only...
